Bayek deserves a trilogy
Mr.24 Right, they should make a sequel that leads to their deaths and then leave the game off with the new assassins
Jalen Woolfolk
Totally agree my man. Currently I'm hearing people saying that they want to see AC in Japan, like AC Dynasty, or AC Feudal Japan. But Ubisoft should wait for that later after they complete Bayek series.
Yes. I'm already a fan. Wish I get to play a trilogy.
I agree, and i hope I await the sequel to Aya's (Amunet) story in Rome.
Mr.24 yes he does
Ubisoft has done really well in creating some of the great main characters in Assassin's Creed. Bayek is definitely one of my favorite
Conor kenway:)
I hope they flesh out both aya and bayek, similarly to Ezio.
I'm Josh same man.
Ikr ! Having played them all many times over, Bayek is definitely in my top 5 now. 108 hours with him & Aya, well spent !
I don't know man, i feel i just can't connect with Bayek like some of the other protagonists like Ezio and Altair. With them i genuinely cared what would happen in the story, but with Bayek i feel like i couldn't care less.
I fucking love his voice, it goes so well with Bayek and it sounds great
and that accent
So much respect for actually playing the games
OptimumSmiley you really think he played it? Most of the time they are paid to say that, it makes people more excited, obviously
Eidorian Eagle why the doubt?
Eidorian Eagle you assuming that is ironic to the question you asked OptimumSmiley
Eidorian Eagle He took part in an AMA on Reddit and you could tell he's a big fan of Assassin's Creed
OptimumSmiley he did not played it he actually said in a video with a youtuber that he played it a bit and that hes trash at the game
“The guards here are vigilant”
I feel like he’s gonna cringe a lot when Bayek says that
“This place is heavily guarded”
TG Rei "hmm I shouldn't be seen in this area"
Dee Vee he never says that lol
" I should be courageous around here"
thank for you being the actor of bayek you so cool

Abubakar Salim is a nice guy, even on Twitter answering kind all of the AC fans.
Bayek, so far, is one of the best characters of AC.
You can't say best , you can say on of the best characters
Altaïr well it's an opinion so yes they can.
That would be Edward Kenway.
James Watson Atheist Gamer in your wildest dreams
@@juniormafra30 Not really. AC BF is the best game and EK is the best assassin. Bayek is okay. Now settle down. Can't have you crying like a wounded female.
Damn they hit the nail on the head when they picked this guy. What a voice!
Oh shit man, this dude is awesome!!
he seems really genuine i like him
r4wn4k it’s not because he has a foreign name and that he’s black, that he’s muslim?
Bjuny i think hes making a funny
Torpedex oh ok
I love personality off this kinda people. Dont look at the outside, the world is already full of judgement
He made a mistake in the beginning. His name is Bayek of Siwa and he plays Abubakar Salim in this interview
Holy shit i never noticed that
Alexios is older.
@@jameswatsonatheistgamer fuck off
When?
Manuel Alves why?
bayek is fucking badass
White Steve Harvey welcome to family feud everybody this is ya host, White Steve Harvey
Ben Dover yesir
Roses Of Time Early Egyptians were black African and later became mixed
I Know right.. By the end of the game hes Egyptian Kenshiro.
maggintons abubaker is amazing voice actor
That man seems so likeable somehow :DD !!!
KADArt Cosplay because of his amazing voice and nice tone
The boyega of assassins creed
Because he's muslim
So true
It's because he's naturally very warm and congenial, very smiley. He's also a gem on Twitter, always interacts with fans which is great.
I really love Bayak as a character, he's badass but also pretty sweet when he needs to be. The fact it was his first time voice acting as well, that's really impressive, people like Peter Dinklage and Patrick Stewart couldn't even manage it on their first time.
Please make a trilogy with him!
Levi Rodríguez the ps5 now available, pre-order and get a free copy of assassins creed: the bayek trilogy (or quadrilogy)
Levi Rodríguez it will
Levi Rodríguez no thanks
Yes
YESSSSS
Bayek came to me in a time where I needed spiritual guide and council. My life is currently going nowhere and I'm having a difficult time finding myself. Bayek is a character that represents the dude I want to be: wise, funny, good looking, strong, ripped, someone who actually believes in something with a responsability that exceeds his personal desires and interests (being a medjay) and obviously, a fantastic fighter. Because of Bayek, I am not lost in the world anymore, at least, I have a starting point of what the man I want to become looks, act and live like. Thank you so much to everyone of you who was involved in the creation of this great character.
Anyone difficulty in life can be overcome through force of will. Good luck brother
@@johnnyboy2411 I appreciate your kind words.
Good Lord touch sand.
#Thisismybayek
AC GAMER old now he is my Bayek 👏🚽
Next assassins creed #Not my bayek
Fishy?
Merga Lewdon Nah, LongEaredFox
Bungie's Blue Flames what about lazerzz???
Who else is loving the game so far?
IronJaj Best ac since 2 gameplay is near perfect, and another thing I don't know why people say that the story should've been the most epic, while I disagree. Its like saying that you have a all out epic war that lasts for 3 chapters and the rest of the book is just chill. Same thing here, how are you supposed to make the most epic ac game from the literal Origins of the Brotherhood.
I think my favourite part of Bayek was that he’s actually a pretty fun character. I thought he was going to be super boring but he’s actually really likeable. He jokes he’s happy he bangs his wife. Which I find so funny because out of all the Assassins Creed protagonists he has the most reason to be an asshole. I won’t spoil why for people who haven’t played the game but believe there is reason for him to be a totally one dimensional character but he’s not.
TheDovaKing Bro, that broke my heart. And those people responsible got what they deserved. One of the best AC games by far.
He's the best character since Ezio
He was a man who lost great love felt great pain harbored great hate but always had hope and never lost faith he had probably one of the worst destinies in ac but he never lost his way
Omg, Bayek exists!
He'll be able to play with himself hehe
Amidala92 ohhh shushhh 😂
Naw that sounds wrong 😂
that’s sounds nasty if your mind is in the gutter
Amidala92 BET he has a lot to play with, too.. 😉
Stahp
Dude's a cool man, he seems so grounded. Excited to play this game! I ADORE Egypt and its history and all.
Damn Bayek does a good job voicing this dude
I am so fucking hyped
Edit: holy shit thanks for the likes
Same here! Greetings from Sweden!
Black Hermit I'm also Swedish. I have pre orded the game.
Erik Gustafsson not smart.
Tom van Giessen It's a great game
Black Hermit greetings from England 🙂
His voice is so mature and pure, I can understand how they hired him.
This man made one of the best performances in video game history in my opinion.
This is honestly one of my favorite Assassin in the entire franchise. I realize that Ezio is still, and will always be the quintessential Assassin for most fans, and while I do love Ezio, I just couldn't really relate to the guy. Ezio is a charmer, ladiesman, etc... I like that about the character, but that's just not me. With Bayek, he's more serious and stoic than Ezio, but he's not as monotone, naive and borderline annoying like Connor. He seeks revenge and has a dark side, but he's still able to enjoy the little things and has a sense of optimism and honor. To me personally, that's far more relatable than Ezio.
My favorite assassins will always be Ezio and Edward... but Bayek definitely up there standing next to those characters as one of the best in the franchise. Bayek is basically what Connor should have been.
Edward kenway is still my fav main character of AC
Bayek looks the most like me out of all the assassins 😏 but he's also got a mysterious quality that pretty boy ezio did not have. I didn't like exit at all lol
+MG1995 Holy shit i was thinking the same about Bayke as a better version of Connor whnever i play Origins.
But I can’t imagine Connor making the kind of jokes bayek does in the game. I think the reason Connor was so boring is because he suffered from a tragedy at a very young age. Bayek faced a tragedy while he was much older. It is easier for bayek as he was wiser than Connor at the time of their tragedies.
Which is okay, but Connor was also just boring personality wise and he had no depth whatsoever. He was naive, dumb and frankly, not likable.
His voice acting is superb and the game itself is the best Assassin's Creed yet, imo.
Alivewarrior "Zis is ze best game I have ever played! I have been exploring tombs while listening to Wagner for hourz! I wish co-op exzisted so I could play with Goebbels!" - Hitler
Eratosthenes Lmao
Adolf Hitler You mean the best game of whole assasins creed history?For me this would be the 5th.
Donald.J.Trump Spiderman nah this ones the best by far
Sir Babz Thats couse you didnt play the ac franchise from the beginning.This one isnt the best.Second graphics wise though.
his voice is damn cool
This is the coolest most detailed game I have played in a while. Everything about it has keep me immersed. Just brilliant.
You really care about him. This guy is the best character.
Say what you want, but Bayek of Siwa is the kindest god damn assassin in any of the Assassin's Creed games. His kindness is so wholesome, heart-warming, and he radiates it everywhere he goes.
Dude did a god tier performance for Bayek! The range of emotions in his voice was making me get goosebumps often! Dude is beyond talented! Definitely the best VA in the entire series handsdown! The 2nd would probably be the VA of Edward Kenway.
He has a damn sexy voice
Sean Dowling ikr 😻
agreed!
Sean Dowling nah nigga you gay
👍
Fraggot 911 nah man you're just child. Do I have to say again. Im not attracted to men just because I say a another male has a sexy voice dont make me attracted to him I just said I liked his voice because it's suits the character and the guy is pretty cool. And I like his personality he's a pretty cool guy. You're just a child.
I was up and down about this one but humm he might of just won me over
DANIELTURNERVLOGS *might have
I liked ac unity had a good concept hope this one has to
I love this guy’s voice so much, i was really glad to see him in that new ridley scott tv show he deserves it!
This might have actually won me over.
Came back to life and did the best you could, mate. You smashed it.
Ive played all the ac games and origins is def the best so far
leekdasavv Gaming. Yes gameplay wise I live all the RPG elements Incorporated
Yeah origins blew all the other ones away
I can't remember the previous games but I liked this one, the side quests were just annoying though, the main quests were interesting
nope
@@jalenwoolfolk2131 did every single side quests and I loved them
He did so well, in some cutscenes where Bayek is angry or upset, you can hear the voice crack in raw emotion. Incredible
The thing I like about Bayek is that he isn't "untouchable." Like, tough guys can give him a problem and he has to work with his strengths and weaknesses to succeed. Like in the cinematic trailer when he gets knocked down but uses the bow with his feet to shoot a guy. It was like "oh snap, an assassin getting hit?!?" It humanizes him instead of idealizing and it makes it so much more intimate of a story and character.
This guy is talented. He deserves another run as Bayek in a future sequel.
I said it after I finished AC: Origins and will keep saying it until the end of times: Bayek, for me, is up there with Ezio regarding development, emotions, reactions, just about everything. He feels ALIVE, like an actual person on a journey of revenge and regreting each step even tho he cant and dont want to stop. It is just as Abubakar Salim said it, Bayek is about internal change and emotional struggle and personal redemption, instead of shaping the world from the shadows as a killing machine with no feelins and goals in mind. Bayek actually feels like a deeply troubled human being and i fucking applaud everyone involved in the game.
Probably one of the best voice actors to voice in the AC universe
Bayek is by far my favorite. Iv never been so wrapped up in him and I'm lvl 32 40 hours in
Same here but level 34
im lvl 40, 43 hours played.. i finished the main story today and im really sad that its over.. i think about 100%ing this game
I'm 34 in 35 hours 🥶
Bayek is my favorite Assassin
This may be a game I may not ever sell. Its a true beauty.
Finally getting around to playing it, love it so far
Ugh... I just love to see the amount of passion that the team has for this game. Even Abubakar... He's SO hyped for the game! :D
Favorite VO actor ever. This guy won me over and I am having SO much fun playing as Bayek. Thank you Abubakar Salim.
Only about 9-16 hours until it arrives! Finally!
Bayek is amazing because of him. Thank you!
My fav Creed character thus far
He was actually perfect😍... Bayek is the epitome of a man kind loyal loving and dangerous..hes now my favourite AC character
Kinda like this guy, much more animated than Connor's actor, have high hopes for this game
The Memory as soon as I saw his name in HOTD ! It quickly striked the he was the voice actor of Bayek of Origins
Bayek/Salim need to star on more games, to this is the best AC game yet
You know😉
Bayek The Medjay you are medjay no more, you shall be known as a Assassin
lets make a drinkin game
Bayek The Medjay I'm cooler
No, you're not an Assassin.
ı am a hidden one
Characterization of Ubisoft is just phenomenal
Bayek the Badass
So, wait, he did the motion capture as well for the game? That's amazing. Dude is top class, voice acting at its peack !!
I remember when he said "SHADYA"
Let me tell you that you did a great job man! I had a feeling playing Bayek that I never had with other games's character.
I want a AC sequel only for him!!
Best Assassin's Creed voice actor ever!!!
You've done an awesome job Abubakar.
Who's here after finding the letter form Bayek to Aya in Valhalla? I wept when I heard his voice again
At first I️ was unsure about this game and it’s new quirks but after playing it, it’s one of the most addicting games ive ever played I️ love it
I hope they add connor's outfit. I really love that character.
from what i've seen they didn't.There are only 2 legacy outfits as of know at least
Nosferatu Man, that will really upset me if they dont.
Why would you want a colonial outfit in the ancient egypt time?
Vanja Tanevski why do people say this? In AC Syndicate you could have ezios and altiars. In AC revaluations you could be freakin Desmond!. I want to play through all the outfits it’s just fun to see what they look like on other characters and how much better they look in a new game. I don’t care about time periods. The one I’ve always worn is Altairs and I’m pretty sure they haven’t added that one in.
they've added altair's robes and ezio's outfit from brotherhood
Fantastic performance in Origins. Bayek is such a great character and his performance is definitely one of the reasons why.
I hope he's in a studio right know for a sequel to ac origins
He's handsome both in game and in real life holy shit
"Ancient writings from the old kingdom"
Bayek and Ezio are the two best characters in the series, as well as voices
Not trying to hate on Eivor's voice actor or AC Valhalla...but nothing can ever top Abubakar's performance as Bayek
Facts, honestly I think Bayek has the best VA out of any protagonist from UBISOFT
Bayek was wonderfully voiced. And in general, I think Bayek is the second best Assassin's Creed protagonist after Ezio. He was so good.
I fucking hate Ubisoft, they knew bayek could be the next ezio, but nooooo, assassins creed is an rpg because money is evil
Defiantly my favourite game of the series, and Bayek, mate that's the real badass
Ubisoft, whatever y'all paying this man DOUBLE IT
His voice.. 😍😍😍
Hello fellow assassin's
Blue hawk I'm a Templar but hi
Blue hawk nothing is true, everything is permitted
Bye
Well hello there 😁
@@FlasRoose after playing assassins creed rogue ive been rethinking who is better and I'm leaning towards the templars
loved Bayek because he was a family man and loved animals. On top of being a power house and scary when he needs to be. much love.
That dude seems so great. So nice to see the actors of the game not only loving the way games are interactive story's but that they can't wait to play the game themselves. I hope he gets more roles in video games.
Such a great guy, he has done amazing job playing Bayek
Love his intensity behind his voice. Was not disappointed with the new assassins creed at all. Great job!
Trully the second best Assassin in this franchise.
Love you man! You are an amazing Bayek!
I wish this man a beautiful career. As beautiful as his voice and smile are. More of that cat please!
who is this guy he sounds like bayek from assassins creed origins
no shit sherlock
MARWANZ You're mistaken, he's the guy who plays Stewie from family guy
Akeyy hahhahahaah so true
Troll
Kayo PuRe No you're the dumbass here mate
I like this guy, super down to earth.
#1 Altaïr Ibn La'Ahad
#2 Bayek
#3 Ratonhnhaké:ton
#4 Ezio Auditore Da Firenze
#5 Desmond Miles
My Top 5 Assassin's Creed Characters
mans first ever game and he fucking smashed it
Bayek is now my #2 behind Ezio... I think the part he won me over at is a side mission he did... Some chick was mad you killed one of the order and she betrayed you... She complains to him about the life she would have had... Bayek yells "your lover killed my fucking son, so I do not care about what you had"... The passion they made him show in that statement made me want to kill all of them lol...
The wonderful sound performance of the hero of the origins of Africa cousin
For my people in the UK - 14:00 tomorrow use a vpn to connect to an aussie network(Sydney) and you will be able to play the game, as it will be the 27th in the land down under.
EDIT: Confirmed to be working!
Beside ezio.... Bayek its my favorite character in assassins creed series.. Thank you Mr salim..
I love what they have done with this amazing game. I love this series so much and Bayek is definitely top 5 of all time and I love how he said " We are no longer Medjay, we are Assassin's. Wonder if he says that in the DLC as he didn't say it in game.
Thanks for being the voice
They're lucky they didn't ask him about that day in siwa
He did a fantastic job of playing the character
Ratonhnhaké:ton (Conner) has been my favorite for so long but Bayek of Siwa may be in the running. And the actor that plays him is a great actor and he plays the Assassins Creed games. Dope!
"You know"
CloudBlazzter drink a shot everytime he says Y O U K N O W
ok
Did “you know” habbit applied in game?
CloudBlazzter he's like billie joe armstrong
It’s a common English/American dialect thing, unless you’re a politician who practiced a lot. Or if you’re talking with perfect confidence and calmness. He’s never been interviewed before give him a break lmao
Bayek of Siwa is a good character, his goal is clear and he's generally a likable protagonist. But the story is not really that great, but there are so many stories to tell with Bayek so i hope one day we'll get to see him again, building the Creed. Btw, you done a good job, Mr. Salim!
